The second video from LAMB OF GOD guitarist MARK MORTON’s new solo EP - a cover of the PEALR JAM hit “Black” featuring vocalist Mark Morales - has been revealed today.

Watch the video on KNAC.COM HERE.

“The early ‘90s were such an important and vibrant time for rock music in general, and I feel like "Black" is one of the great songs from that era,” MORTON says. “Our approach in covering it was to present a super stripped-down version, sticking the essence of the song. It’s got a very lonely feel to it and Mark Morales delivered an absolutely incredible vocal performance.”

Ether, MORTON’s second solo offering, was released this month via Rise Records. The primarily acoustic EP is comprised of three original tracks and two covers that showcase MORTON’s diversity as a musician. As with last year’s solo debut, Anesthetic, the guitarist enlisted the talents of various musicians and vocalists to bring his songs to life.

Morales, who regularly tours as part of MORTON’s live band, sings two songs on the EP - the original track “All I Had To Lose” and “Black”. Additional vocals are provided by Lzzy Hale on THE BLACK CROWES cover “She Talks To Angels”, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE/LIGHT THE TORCH vocalist Howard Jones on “Love My Enemy” and MOON TOOTH singer John Carbone on “The Fight”. Ether was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD, GOJIRA, TRIVIUM).

Watch the video for the EP’s first single, "All I Had To Lose" featuring Mark Morales, on KNAC.COM HERE.

Ether is available via digital retailers. For a list of providers, visit https://riserecords.lnk.to/ether. Physical copies of Ether are available for pre-order via Rise Records.

Anesthetic, MORTON’s first 10-track solo album, was made alongside a dream team of highly respected musicians from a multitude of musical worlds. Singers on the album include Chester Bennington, Randy Blythe, Jacoby Shaddix, Myles Kennedy, Alissa White-Gluz, Mark Lanegan, Chuck Billy, Jake Oni, Josh Todd, Mark Morales and Naeemah Maddox. Musically, MORTON performs all guitars, with Roy Mayorga, David Ellefson, Ray Luzier, Paolo Gregoletto, Alex Bent, Mike Inez, Jean-Paul Gaster, Steve Gorman, Marc Ford, Yanni Papadopoulos and Chris Brooks completing the band. The single "Cross Off", featuring late LINKIN PARK vocalist Chester Bennington and TRIVIUM's rhythm section of Paolo Gregoletto and Alex Bent, spent six weeks in the Top 10 Active Rock US radio chart and has now amassed more than 14 million plays on Spotify and YouTube.

Following the 2019 release of Anesthetic, MORTON took his live band, consisting of Morales on lead vocals, Doc Coyle (BAD WOLVES) on guitar, Nick Villarreal (SONS OF TEXAS) on bass, Art Cruz (LAMB OF GOD, PRONG, WINDS OF PLAGUE), on a North American co-headline tour with LIGHT THE TORCH.

MORTON recently wrapped a handful of intimate acoustic shows in the UK as a three piece with vocalist Mark Morales and guitarist Joe Harvatt.
